CHARGING YOUR APPLIANCE

Before using your trimmer for the first time, charge for 2 hours.

1. Ensure the product is switched off.
2. Connect the product to the USB cable and then connect the USB end of the cable to a powered USB port.

CHARGING INDICATOR LIGHTS DURING CHARGING

• ON OFF FLASHING

The charge level is shown for 4 seconds after you switch your trimmer on.

• Do not recharge your product after each use as this will shorten the life of the battery.
• Note: To preserve the life of your batteries, let them run out every 6 months then fully charge.
• On a full charge, your trimmer will run for up to 60 minutes of cordless usage.
• The trimmer has a 5 minute quick charge feature that will provide enough charge for 1 grooming session.

ATTACHMENTS

TO FIT AND REMOVE ATTACHMENTS (FIG. A)
Ensure that the device is switched off before fitting or removing attachments.

• To remove, rotate the attachment anti-clockwise until it unlocks and then lift it off.
• To fit, place the desired attachment on top of the device and rotate the attachment  clockwise to lock it into place

FITTING AND REMOVING FIXED GUIDE COMBS To Fit

• Hook the front of the guide comb over the blade.
• Press the back of the guide comb down until it clicks into place.

To Remove

• Lift the tab on the back of the guide comb upwards until it comes free from the blade.

ADJUSTABLE STUBBLE COMB (FIG. B)

• Fit the adjustable stubble guide comb in the same way you would fit a fixed guide comb.

• The 1.0 – 5 mm comb can be adjusted in 0.5mm increments simply by turning the
  wheel to the desired setting. Turn the wheel clockwise for a longer length and anticlockwise for a shorter length.

• The indicator on the wheel will point to the chosen setting.

• Use the trimmer without the adjustable comb for trimming hair close to the skin. This will trim hair to 1.0 mm, and holding the blades perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.5 mm.

BODY HAIR COMB (FIG. C)

• Clip the desired body hair comb over the body hair attachment.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Comb facial hair with a fine comb before you start trimming.
• Comb your hair in the direction that it grows so that the hairs are at their maximum height and facing in the same direction.
• After trimming, lightly go over the trimmed areas with the foil to get a smooth clean finish.
• Since all hairs do not grow in the same direction, you may want to try different trimming positions (i.e. upwards, downwards or across) for better results.
• Hair should be dry and free from any waxes or lotions.
• If hair builds up during use, switch the unit off, remove any attachment in use and clean any excess hair clippings from the attachment and groomer.

TO THIN AND TAPER THE BEARD/MOUSTACHE

• Attach the adjustable stubble comb or a fixed guide comb to the T-blade. If you are trimming for the first time start with the maximum trimming length setting.
• Turn the unit on.
• Start trimming under the chin following the line of the jaw.
• Place the flat top of the trimmer comb against the skin.
• Slowly slide through the hair. Work upwards towards the ear and upper beard line. Repeat from different directions as necessary.
• Tidy the beard edges using the T-blade. Use slow controlled movements to create contoured lines.
• If hair builds up in the trimmer comb during the trimmer process, switch the unit off, pull the comb and brush the hair off.

FINE DETAILING AND EDGING

1. Hold the device with the cutting blade (teeth) facing you and at 90 degrees to the skin.
2. Start with the blade resting lightly against your skin, and use motions towards the edge of the beard line to trim to desired locations in the facial area.
3. Shape as desired.

CONTOUR EDGING AND CLOSE HAIR-CUTTING

Contour edging

1. Hold the device with the cutting blade (teeth) facing you and at 90 degrees to the skin.
2. Start with the edge of the beard/moustache line and, with the blade resting lightly against the skin, use slow controlled movements to create contoured lines.

Close hair cutting:

1. Use the fingers of one hand to lift the hair at the base of your head up off your neck.
2. Your index finger should be covering the roots of the hairs you are lifting to prevent them from being accidentally cut.
3. Hold the trimmer to the base of your neck with the blade facing up. Move the trimmer up the neck until it touches your index finger which protects the hair roots.
4. Move your trimmer slowly and keep the hair roots at the base of your head out of the way of the trimmer.

BODY HAIR TRIMMING

Body hair maintenance: Trimming to length

1. Select the desired comb.
2. Place the flat side of the attachment against the skin.
3. Slowly slide the trimmer through the hair in the direction of hair growth.
4. Use slow, well-controlled movements.

Body hair maintenance: Removal

1. Remove the comb and go over the areas where you want to remove the body hair.
2. Stretch the skin with your free hand to make the hairs stand upright.
3. Use light pressure and shave against the direction of hair growth.

HAIR CLIPPING

Step 1: Nape of the neck

• Attach the 3mm or 6mm fixed comb.
• Hold the trimmer with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Start at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
• Slowly lift the trimmer, working upwards and outwards through the hair trimming just a little at a time.

Step 2: Back of the head

• With the 12mm or 18mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.

Step 3: Side of the head

• With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.

Step 4: Top of the head

• Use the longer length fixed combs of 18mm or 25mm to cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• Always work from the back of the head.

Step 5: The finishing touches

• Use the trimmer without a comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, place the trimmer at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin and then work downwards.

USING THE FOIL SHAVER

• Fit the foil shaver attachment.
• Use short, well-controlled linear movements. Use your free hand to stretch your skin. This encourages the hair to stand upright, making it easier to shave.
• Note: always trim your facial hair before shaving.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Care for your appliance to ensure a long-lasting performance. We recommend that you clean it after each use.

AFTER EACH USE

• Brush any accumulated hairs from the trimmer and attachment heads.
• The easiest and most hygienic way to clean the trimmer is under the tap.
• Place one or two drops of oil on the blades. Turn the appliance on to distribute the oil evenly, and wipe off any excess oil.

REPLACING THE FOILS AND CUTTERS
To ensure continued high-quality performance from your shaver, we recommend the foils and cutters be replaced regularly. Signs that your foils and cutters need replacing

• Irritation: as foils get worn, you may experience skin irritation.
• Pulling: as the cutters wear, your shave may not feel as close and you may feel the cutter pulling your hair.
• Wear-through: you may notice that the cutters have worn through the foils.

TO REPLACE THE FOIL/CUTTERS

• Remove the shaver head (pull the head up and off).
• Fit the new head assembly over the hair pocket and press down to click into place.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Note: The battery is not intended to be removed or replaced under normal use. The only time the battery should be removed or the unit opened or disassembled is at the end of the product’s useful life before it is discarded.

• This appliance contains a lithium-ion battery. Once the appliance has reached the end of its life, to ensure proper disposal of the product, please take it to a recycling centre, where the internal rechargeable battery should be removed by a professional and recycled separately.
• For more information about recycling of electrical and battery-operated appliances, please contact your local council office or your household waste disposal service.

Caution: Do not put in the fire or mutilate your batteries when disposing as they may burst and release toxic materials. Do not short-circuit as it may cause burns. We suggest you use local waste management centres to recycle this product at end of life.

DISPOSAL/RECYCLING

To avoid environmental and health problems due to hazardous substances, appliances and rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries marked with one of these symbols must not be disposed of with unsorted municipal waste. Always dispose of electrical and electronic products and, where applicable, rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries, at an appropriate official recycling/collection point. Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery-operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
